President Roosevelt recently received a copy of French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau’s recent speech, responding to Jean Jaurès, and asks French Ambassador Jusserand to tell Clemenceau of Roosevelt’s admiration of the speech. Roosevelt agrees with nearly everything Clemenceau said, and was interested to see that Clemenceau’s policies are very similar to Roosevelt’s own. He comments that if anything he would have been more extreme in his insistence of putting down mob violence, and reflects on situations in France and Russia, believing the Russian Duma is acting improperly by currently working to abolish the death penalty while at the same time assassination is rife in Russia. Congressman Nicholas Longworth is having Clemenceau’s speech translation and printed.
